Izmir Race 7

Race 7

Prize Money: -

ŞAFIYE (4) sets the standard, arriving off three straight wins and already proven at 1400m and Izmir, with a tidy record from low draws. ANGEL DRACARYS (1) is the main danger after a dominant 1st of 6 over this track and trip and three wins from his past four starts here, holding a strong seasonal profile. LILLE HAMMER (3) is progressive with two recent 1200m wins and a prior 2nd at 1400m at this track, and the inside draw suits. YEŞIMTRON (5) is consistent and effective at 1400m at Izmir, coming off a 2nd of 5 here, but faces a couple with sharper winning form; slight edge to ŞAFIYE (4) on current streak and distance credentials.

Proven at Izmir, winning 3 of 5 here, and comes off a 1st of 6 over 1400m at the track on 22 Oct. Recent form is strong, having won 3 of the last 5. The M. Çiçek/M. Bulut combination reads well too (3:2-0-1). Solid claims to figure again at this trip and venue.

Placed in 4 of last 5 and has solid course stats, including (8:3-2-1) at Izmir. Proven at the trip and venue with (4:1-2-0) at this track and distance. Latest 6th of 6 over 1400m here on 22 Oct came after a 2nd of 8 at the same course and trip on 19 Sep, so overall profile is consistent. Honest figures at the track and trip keep Anka Erçelik in the mix.

Brings sharp form, having won 3 of last 3, including 1400m wins at Bursa on 2 Nov and Izmir on 15 Oct. Proven at Izmir (3:2-1-0) and keeps the successful Mer. Çelik/C. Batur partnership (3:3-0-0). Strong credentials to hold form at 1400m.

Ultra-consistent, with placed in 5 of last 5 and a strong Izmir record (5:2-2-1). Latest run was 2nd of 5 over 1400m at Izmir on 31 Oct, following a 1400m Izmir win on 10 Sep. Holds solid figures with this rider-trainer combo (4:1-2-1), so Yeşimtron profiles as a reliable player at this trip and track.

Consistent this season, Win Like A Man has placed in 3 of last 3 and owns a (3:1-1-1) record at Izmir. Last start 3rd of 4 over 1200m here on 17 Oct, and steps to 1400m. Stays in the same grade. Reliable profile at the track makes him a straightforward contender.
